This is a deterioration process that leads to the decay of tissues and organs, and that, in the case of annual, biennial and/or monocarpic plants, leads to the death of the plant itself. The main function of leaf senescence is nutrient recycle and, since this confers an adaptive advantage...
During senescence, leaf cells experience extensive alterations in gene expression and metabolism, resulting in the decomposition of macromolecules and the reallocation of essential nutrients to newer tissues or reproductive organs3,4. Premature leaf senescence can be induced by unfavorable environmental ...
Bacteriocytes or mycetocytes together form bacteriomes or mycetomes, which are specialized organs in some insects that house the symbionts. Blastulae Hollow spheres of cells surrounding a cavity of fluid, comprising the early stages in the development of embryos. Ovipositor The tube-like organ ...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), one of the main types of Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by dysfunctional pancreatic β-cells and/or peripheral insulin resistance, resulting in impaired glucose and lipid
Data that mercury, lead, and copper induce de novo synthesis of CYP1A1 mRNA, which is AhR dependent[32], further confirm this finding. Changes in AhR and AhR-related genes induced by these metals affect reactivity to other exogenous[29, 31, 33] or endogenous ligands[27]. Cd also ...
Holobiont fitness includes interactions between the host and its symbionts, between the symbionts themselves, as well as between the holobiont and the environment. The interaction between the microbiome and the host generally leads to improved fitness. P
CVDs encompass a wide spectrum of disorders, including diseases of the heart muscle and the vascular system that supplies the brain, heart, and other vital organs with blood and oxygen. CVDs are the preeminent cause of death worldwide, claiming the lives of an estimated 17.9 million people annu...
The outer epidermis is also considerably thicker in many plant organs29, including the root meristem32. There is also indirect evidence that the endodermal layer of cells may have a prominent role in controlling growth. The flat shape of these cells gives the impression that they are ...
1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | DOI: 10.1038/ncomms5157 Most organisms have separate sexes, males and females, that differ not only in the primary reproductive organs but also in behavioural, morphological and physio- logical traits. In vertebrates, the phenotypic differences between the sexes are...
